That would pave the way then for a much aaore drastic redietribution to the advantage of the Conservative party than is now apparently contem- plated. The third session of the thirteenth Legislature of Ontario came to an end shortly after half past three o'clock Friday afternoon. With it marked the passing of Sir John Gibson in his role as Lieutenamt-Governor on these state oc- casions, and what is more significant, . according to an authority in the confid- ence of the Government, the almost immediate dissolution of the House and a general election within eight weeks. A most .leasing feature of the event was the presence of Sir James Whitney, apparently restored to his old-time phy- sical vigor, accompanied by Miss Whit- ney. The Whitney Government can do without even one supporter from Bruce County better than the Conservative party can do with a continuance of sur- renders to the detnantis of local partisan sehemere.

FINAL WEEK IN THE LEGISLATURE. — Secretary, a member of the Goverment! There are cases of paralysis that can - of the Province of Ontario, by himself ' eot be curt d. But that is far different and officials ()ibis department, illegally, front saying that every case of paraly- wrongfully and corruptly intervened, ' sis is ineurable. There is absolute proof interfered, with and influenced voters , that many forms of this disease are of the counties of Welland, Huron and • cnrable Of the cases that cannot be Peel in elections recently pending in' cured many can be so benefitted that the said counties on the subject of the the formerly hopeless sufferer will once adoption and passing of the Scott Act more find life worth living. and for the prevention of intemperance. i Attention is tailed to the remarkable the said illegal, wrongful and corrupt cures that have been effected in cases of partial paralysis, and other severe nervous diem:tiers, by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Some of these cures are so wonderful as to challenge belief, but in every case the statements have been carefully verified and may be investigated by anyone interested. In this con ection serious and deliberate charges the Gov- the case of 'Vitas B. Millha of St John, N.B., is worthy ote thecare- eminent should refuse enquiry. The ful attention.

Neither is the affidavit made by Provincial Lieense Inspector Snider himself of any moment in connection with the case. He declares- that the explanation given by the Provincial Secretary of Mr. Snider's visits to ' Huron, Peel and Weiland was a true and correct statement, but, again, what was needed in the circumstances, was not any statement either from Mr. Hanna or Mr. Snider but a Royal Com- mission of two judges to investigate tee whole affair as asked for by Mr. Bowman. ' FER.GUSCN AGAIN. Howard Ferguson, of Grenville, has been building up a reputation for poli- tical unscrupulousness which was ex- emplified in his actions in the closing hours of the Legislature when, at a time which, as he thought, would not allow an effective reply, he made alle- gations against Mr. Rowell in connec- tion with some of his professional duties. Mr. Rowell, however, had time to look up his files in connection with the cases and was able absolutely to refute the me inuations of Mr. Ferguson. The latter had referred to Mr. Rowell's legal services in connection with the Oka Indians and Sault industries. In the former case Mr. Ferguson claimed that Mr. Rowell had been retained by the Dominion Government and that he had forfeited his seat ae much as Mr. Ferguson himself. Mr. Rowell showed, however, that the retainer had not come from the Dominion Government but from the Methodist Church. In con- nection with the Sault industries there is a quotation from the Toronto News which refers to the inestimable ser- vices rendered all parties concerned, in- cluding the Province, by Mr. Rowell in unweaving the tangle in those indus- tries. GERRYMANDER. acte having been so done and commit- ted for the purpose of preventing the passing and adoption ot the said aet, and for the purpose of vomiting and securing the co-operation and assistance of the liquor interests of the Province in favor of the Government." It is frankly amazing that after such BOWMAN CHARGES. Only a veratim quotation of the Bow- man charges in the Le;tislature against the Provincial Secretory could show the full seriousness of these charges and the astounding bad position in which the Government is put by refusing to in- vestigate them. Government speeches and newspaper articles h lye endeav erecl to minimize the whole affair leut a peru- sal of the charges themselves is a con- vincing answer. They are too long to quote in full but some of the !nest salient features are here given They begin as follows:— "I, Charles ISlartin Bowman, a mem- ber of the Legislature for the electoral I district of North Bruce, in the Province s of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, charge that an agreement or understandLig was corruptlyand improperly made between the Provincial Secretary, acting in and for his department, and as such repre- senting the Government, and the organ- ized liquor interests of the Province of Ontario, as represented by its organiz- ations, and represeptative, that he (the Provincial Secretary) and his depart- ment of the Government would co- operate with the orgenized liquor in- terests in helping to procure the defeat of the Scott act in the counties of Wel- land, Harm and Peel; and tint the said understanding or agreement was arrived at under the circumstances and con- ditions herein before set forth. I further charge that the said W. K. Snider did not go to the said counties in performance of any official duties of his office, hoe:Item he thetight it a part of his official duty to do so (et; alleged by the Provincial Soc vtary), but went to the said counties m.o.) the tequest ate' direction of the slid Provincial Sec- retary in oeder to earry cut the said underetancling or agreement so arrived at by the said Provincial Secretary and , the ropre4entatiVe of the organized liquor interests. The liquor interest, through its organ- za,i 1. 6ad suppnrted the Government in ie., re -elections in the Province of Ontarim end had contributed or expend- ed euhstantial sums of money to help seeete• tee election of the Government on themes in such bye -elections, and hal !yen the Governrnent, or some nes • er or members of the Government, biaL •anCe that in the next general election they would support the Govern- ment. The organized liquor intereste had decided to raise very lagge sums to procure the eleetion of candidates who would support the Government and op- pose the policy of the abolition of the bar, and they had already raised a very large and substantial sum for such pur- pose. By reason of the assistance which the organized liquor interests had given the Government candidates in the bye - elections, and by reason of the assurance of support in the approaching general election given to the Government or a member or members thereof, it was agreed between the Provincial Secretary and the organized liquor interests. In spite of the most emphatic pro- tests not only from the Liberals in the Rouse, but from many outside quarters, the gerrymander was put through by the Government at the close of the Session. The Liberals are practically eliminated from three of the seats at present held by them namely, two of the Bruces, which are changed from Liberal to Conservative majorities, and from Monck which is completely wiped out. Several other changes are all in the dirertion of strengthening materi- ally the chances of Conservative candi- dates and the net result, obviously un- fair, has led to storms of protest. EXPENSE VS. SAVING. Here and there one &ids dairymen who hesitate about taking up cow paralyzed and c telligable sOun4 I was treated by three of St. Johe's best physicians, for this trouble and my case was given up as hopeless. A friend asked me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but I had spent so much on medicine without help that I thought it would be only a fur- ther waste of money. However, I felt myself growing daily weaker andweak- er, and 1 decided as a last chance that I would try the Pills. By the time I had taken a half dozen boxes I could walk across the floor, something doc- tors had told me could never happen again. I still continued taking the pills, my speech returned and I felt my- self in perfect health. My friends thought my restoration nothing short of a miracle, and I think myself that I have to thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pine that I an) Hying to -day. and I feel con- fident they can do quite as much for others as they did for me." • Dr. Williams' Pink Pills effect cures in cases of this kind because they make new, rich, red blood, which feeds and strengthens the nerves, and tones up the whole system.

During the season of 1913 the tests, conducted in duplicate by the Division of Forage Plants at the Cen- tral Experimental Farm and the Branch Experimental Farms and Stations throughout Canada consisted of 11 differ- ent varieties of Indian corn, 19 varieties of turnips, 13 varieties of mange's, 6 varieties of carrots and 3 varieties of sugar beets.

FAKES There are so many fakes a mortal's bosom aches and he to grief gives tongue, so often is he stung! He buys a box of pills to cure his krievous, the which they fail to do, and he is sad and blue. when comes the good old doc, and says they're made of chalk. He takes his roll and goes to buy a suit of clothes; then says the merchaut wight, "These duds are strictly right! Of value they are full, and every thread is wool!" And then and all the cotton shows throughout the all -wool clothes. Most everything he buys, from pickles down to pies, from juniper to jam, from hominy to ham, from caramel to cake, is but a dizzy fake. The ketchup's made of squash, the clothing will not wash, ' the hair dye's on the blink, and makes his whiskers pink, the horse he bought to driv.e imagines it's alive, but it's been dead three years— and as he sheds his tears, and sounds his bitter wail, which is of no avail.

Hanna, who spent the week -end at Sarnia, made the following statement on Saturday with reference to liquor licenses in Huron: "In Centre Huron the Commissioners passed a res- olution issuing licenses for one year. We have notified them that the resolu- tion will be forthwith vetoed by the department, as they had no power to pass it. If the Commissioners adhere to their position, the licensed hotels in Centre Huron will be closed the moment we can send officers there to close them. In South Huron the Commissioners ex- tended the old licenses for three months. The department has no power to inter- fere in such cases. the Commissioners having the absolute authority to make the three months' extension without reference to the department."
